Designed for mixed media artists, these tiles support additive and subtractive techniques including etching, scratching, and erasing, compatible with acrylics, inks, gouache, collage, and more. Made in the USA with FSC-certified, warp-resistant Hardbord and sealed to prevent discoloration, these 1/8" thick tiles offer a compact, versatile canvas for miniature paintings, jewelry, and creative projects. ## Description Ampersand’s Museum Series Claybord is the only professional painting panel made with a true kaolin clay ground—a smooth, absorbent, clay-coated painting surface inspired by the clay-gesso panels used by Renaissance artists. This ultra-refined ground offers crisp detail, clean color, and exceptional control for fine artwork on panel, mixed media, and experimental techniques. Unlike other art surfaces, Claybord supports both additive and subtractive approaches—its kaolin clay coating absorbs color beautifully while allowing artists to use scratchboard tools to etch and scratch in fine detail, or to lighten, refine, or even erase areas using oil-free steel wool or fine sandpaper.This flexibility gives artists a unique level of control across a wide range of media, including acrylics, inks, alcohol inks, gouache, egg tempera, casein, watercolor, graphite, airbrush, collage, image transfers, printmaking, and mixed media. The smooth, archival surface also supports mounting photographs, art prints, and other paper artwork, making it an exceptionally versatile rigid painting surface. Every Claybord panel is built on Ampersand’s premium, warp-resistant Hardbord™ core, the most stable wood substrate on the market, and sealed with Archiva-Seal™ to protect against Support-Induced Discoloration (SID). The result is an archival, durable surface suitable for professional work, detailed illustration, painting on panel, and complex mixed media techniques. Claybord is available in a 1/8"" flat profile and in 13-ply birch plywood cradled profiles at 7/8"", 1½"", and 2"" depths. For elegant display options, Ampersand’s 7/8"" Floaterframe is designed to accommodate both the 1/8"" flat and 7/8"" cradled Claybord panels, while the 1½"" Floaterframe is a perfect fit for the 1½"" cradle. The 2"" cradle features an elegant, substantial profile that stands on its own as a statement piece without a frame. Handcrafted in the USA using FSC-certified materials. Review: Very useful, always great quality, love the tiny size! - I love these things, I use them for several purposes. Sometimes I create something on this then adhere it to a larger clayboard for dimension. Sometimes I use the clayboard pieces for a mosaic, sometimes I like to try a single technique on one of these little guys, then I post them on my wall in a reference area so I can look at individual techniques I practiced and want to keep as inspiration or reference. These tiles I write info on the back and just stick them to the wall with picture hanging "velcro" stuff so I can easily pull it down and take it over to my project for reference or to compare, see if that technique really looks good or if I was way off base. I like that I can sort of texture the board with gouges, scratches etc then gesso. Hanging that extra layer to play with is nice. I love ampersands boards. I've always found them to have good quality and fits the needs of my random techniques, I like playing with encaustics, cold wax, paper clay, all the paints etc. These boards stand up to abuse! Review: might be ok for jewelry or miniature paintings but overpriced - These are really small and I think they are much smaller than I thought and are very very overpriced at 10.00! In future I will probably purchase a larger sheet and cut to shape myself. ## Features - Unique Kaolin Clay Surface: The only professional painting panel with a true kaolin clay ground. Claybord’s ultra-smooth, absorbent surface delivers crisp detail, clean color, and a painting experience unmatched by canvas, paper, or traditional gessoed panels. - Etch, Erase & Refine: The clay coating allows artists to etch into the surface using scratchboard tools, knives, or craft blades to create sharp contrast, texture, and fine detail. You can also lighten, refine, or erase areas with oil-free steel wool or fine sandpaper for a level of control not possible on other painting surfaces. - Versatile Surface: Ideal for acrylics, inks, alcohol inks, gouache, egg tempera, casein, graphite, airbrush, collage, image transfers, and printmaking. The smooth, acid-free, archival clay surface also works beautifully for mounting photographs, art prints, and other paper artwork. - Go Beyond Canvas or Paper: Claybord supports creative possibilities other surfaces can’t, bringing mixed media, layering, etching, erasing, and subtractive techniques together on a single panel. A smooth, responsive surface for artists who want greater control and sharper detail. - Made in the USA: Constructed on Ampersand’s premium Hardbord and sealed with Archiva-Seal to protect against Support-Induced Discoloration (SID). The panel is archival, warp-resistant, and engineered to provide a stable, long-lasting painting surface. Proudly handcrafted in the USA using FSC-Certified materials. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08M68ZFWD | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #110,110 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #6 in Multimedia Surfaces | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (20) | | Item Weight | 2.56 ounces | | Item model number | CBS022 | | Manufacturer | Ampersand Art Supply | | Product Dimensions | 2 x 2 x 0.01 inches | ## Images ![Claybord Art Tiles for Small Paintings, Crafts, Handmade Jewelry, DIY Creative Projects, and Collage, 1/8" Flat Profile, 2" x 2" - Pack of 8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NCLeHHtEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful, always great quality, love the tiny size! *by J***N on February 19, 2021* I love these things, I use them for several purposes.
